Re: IP address Information available with DHCP snooping?

Dietrich,

One potential security issue with your approach is how would you
differentiate legitimate host versus an adversary? Since you are depending
on the host being initially denied access and using information from that
denial to allow them back in.

A better approach would be to use the ISE and in particular, Device
Profiling feature - you would have alot more criteria for device
classification that allows more confidence in seperating legitimate vs
unallowed endpoints. But even with Device Profiling on the ISE, you really
want an additional mechanism for authentication to achieve greater level of
access-control security.
